3 Tire Sidewall problem of the 2011 BMW 5 Series

Failure Date: 09/19/2011

I have a 2011 BMW x5 with the bridgestone dueler h/l 400 255/50r19 107 h. The tires are 8 months old and has driven almost 14000 km. Today one of my tires cracked on a side while I was driving the car at the intersection. I almost got into car accident because of it. When I got home I've checked all my tires and found out that another tire has a bump on a side that will soon crack or blew-out on me. I don't think that it's normal that 2 out of 4 tires are damaged after only 14000 km.

On sept 19th, 2009, I experienced another tire failure while at freeway speed. 2 additional tires were replaced as well, as they were showing signs of failing. Jan 07, 2010 I experienced a 5th tire failure. All tire share the same type of failure. Inner sidewall separation of the cords (visible). I have asked kumho to reimburse my retailer, which they have denied.
